Ah, technically, Kelli doesn't have a "right". She has a job under her boss, Charlotte.
Yes, she is under her boss's direction. But Kelli has had to make the tough decisions and have the hard conversations (albeit a little later than we would have liked), so she should make the announcement. When a boss takes away her employees power, that is a bad thing that leads to an erosion of the whole structure. Charlotte has been the boss a long time, but she is just trying to get more screen time and it isn't going well. The "touch the star" talk literally made me puke up a little in my mouth, the embarrassing and oh-so awkward graduation ceremony, and now this......SMH. The only way I could agree is if Charlotte is doing it because she is calling Kelli into the office to fire her immediately afterwards. And that ain't happening.

I wonder if the TPTB noticed or cared that Brennan posted spoilers. I'm here for it though! Go Brennan!
I always read the comments on these things and try to figure out if I can hear any of y'alls voices out there :)

I hope Victoria fixes her hair before the next season. I thought it looked far worse than Jaylyn's, so messy, yet they never addressed it.
Wasn't it addressed by Kelli at cameos? VK has the best hair and legs?

Trying to preserve a friendship.
@ShellyB you obviously have great character. I would be mad as hell.
We don't know that she's not. All we do know is that if she is, she has enough class and intelligence not the blather about it on these boards or any other public forum! :)

I’m sorry if I missed this up thread, but is anyone else wondering whether Kelli’s comment about “anyone who thought Victoria was a shoo in” was directed at the rumors on this board?
Absolutely! And I think Judy removed the couch comment because of us!

I don't do instagram and twitter because it is just too much. But when I rewatched Krisin's cut, I teared up. So I commented on FB and she responded!!! OMG, fangirling here! I can't believe I am this excited. But I really like her - love her looks, her heart, and her dance. I was sorry to see her go, but maybe she wasn't quite ready. I just want her to try again.

Nah, not getting that vibe at all. Just Kash being the country girl she is and calling a spade a spade. It IS a game bird, lol.
And last time a country friend gave me some, we had to eat around buckshot. Yuck!!! I'd turn my nose up too!

I didn't realise how dark Jayln's hair is now! (From Madeline M's Twitter)
Jalyn's body is to die for! But the hair. Oh the hair. I don't think it's just a color problem. I think there is a huge cut problem and I am not quite sure I can identify it. I have horrible, thin hair, but maybe her's is just too thick? And maybe too many layers? Like maybe it is a "Roeffler" cut from the 70's? I would actually love to see that heavy straight hair and big forehead in a Holly P shorter cut with bangs.

Not a fan of VK, but I didn't think her dress was bad -- in fact, I didn't think it was much different in kind to what the other girls were wearing.
Agreed! I mean, it was a lot of bubble gum pink, but we've seen K&J in similar. Next to royal blue, it is the DCC dress color. And, I really didn't think it was too cocktail party-ish either. It was a little more flamboyant than the one etiquette lady liked, but VK is more flamboyant, and I think you should dress your personality a bit.

I wonder if Tara/Savvy didn't have some sort of breakup? Last year, they were a "package deal" and both were shown crying when asked what they would do if the duo was broken up. This year in pics where they are given a choice, they are not near each other (for example calendar reveal). I agree with you all that Tara looks sad and depressed. Maybe the answer is right in front of us?

If anyone other TCC had appeared as airheaded and unable to communicate as Victoria ("there are no words!"), there is NO WAY that Kelli's notes would have been "We need to get words and help you with your stories." She flat out said that she wouldn't put a camera or a microphone near Victoria after that terrible interview which would be grounds for cutting anyone else. That wasn't "rough around the edges" as Kelli described it. That was just BAD.
Ha, I knew that Kelli would love Brianna after she said that the NFL doesn't have more injuries these days (which is bull but the bull that the NFL is going to keep spouting). Kelli's interpretation of what Amber said about flag football was a bit much. Amber did not say that concussions in flag football are funny. She said that a flag football team would be fun. I get the connection (that a flag football team would reduce the amount of concussions) but still.
Taylor T. did not come off well during media training. I understand that sometimes your word choices on the spot are not ideal or you just totally brain fart and freeze. That's understandable. But she doesn't have the ability to cover it up well. She was like a deer in headlights when she was asked about the metoo movement. It's similar to dance performance. EVERY dancer has made a mistake in front of an audience at some point. What matters is if you can keep going. If you completely stop moving or get a panicked look on your face, that's a huge problem. But good performers can recover quickly, keeping their facial expression the same, not breaking character, and jumping right back into the choreography. Very good performers continue so seamlessly that you won't even notice that they made a mistake. The best performers recover so well that they can convince you that 35 other girls all made the same mistake simultaneously and she was the only one doing the right choreography!
To be fair, I thought that the open-ended way that the question was asked ("Do you think that the #metoo movement is something that the DCC should take on?") could have made it awkward to answer without sounding too pageanty. But GIRL, your sole source of news should not be Instagram. You have access to the internet so just go to a website and read the headlines for starters.
Victoria's excuses when she got called into Kelli's office were so bad. If she truly thought that Jinelle wasn't the right person to help her because Jinelle is naturally thin, then she should have opened her mouth and said so beforehand. Instead, she just ignored Jinelle's texts and didn't go to the doctor/nutritionist appointment. So immature and irresponsible. "I don't like the situation I'm in so I'm sensitive to it"? If anyone else had been disrespectful enough to ignore the resources that they had offered a TCC, Kelli wouldn't have said, "You need to develop who is Victoria and what's meaningful to you." It would have been "Tonight is your last night." Kelli is still trying to spin things to make it sound like Victoria should make the team. Ignoring someone's texts is not "a disconnect." It's rude and unprofessional.
I found it offensive that Kelli said Taylor T. would not be a good ambassador because she can't communicate but her assessment of Victoria is that she just needs to find her words. A side by side comparison of Taylor T. and Victoria: Victoria has a weight issue. Taylor does not. Kelli called out Taylor as her showstopper on the field last week. Victoria was not. Victoria has been called into the office FOUR times (in seven weeks of training camp) for various issues. I don't recall if Taylor was called in before this week, but even if she has been, she definitely hasn't been called in four times. If someone should have been cut between Victoria and Taylor, it should have been Victoria, not Taylor.
Co-written!

Why is Gina sitting on the floor right up front? She has only been on the team for two years! She is not camera friendly! (Sorry, I know that is petty and rude, and she is way better looking than I ever was, but that is how I feel).
Because when Kash and Lacey go....ding! ding! ding! our little Gina will be the IT GIRL! Point, GL, everything.......and they want to keep her happy now.

But that’s my point. She didn’t know it was wrong and I think it’s rather wonderful she didn’t.
When my son was in the second grade, he said he wanted to have a friend over. When I asked him which one - he said the black one. I said, okay, give his name and I will call his mom. His name was Yoshiki. I know some people will read this wrong. But I am like you @PBSLOVER - I thought it was wonderful that my second grade kid didn't even really know what a black person was because we had never made the distinctions. (BTW, I asked him why Yoshiki was black and he said because he had black hair :)).

How was Brenda unprofessional to Taylor? I'm honestly curious, not being combative. She asked, "the MeToo Movement is a big deal right now. Do you thats something that the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders should take on? Taylor then stuttered and said, "uhh, me too????" and Brenda asked, "are you familiar with the Me Too Movement?" That honestly seemed like a completely standard question that any reporter would ask. I thought Brenda was unprofessional with Kat a few years ago and on other occasions, but I didn't get it here. I'm usually one who tries to find a way to give the girls the benefit of the doubt, but I just don't see a way to that with Taylor. Had she struggled with answering whether or not the DCCs should take on the MeToo movement, then I would give her some leeway, but no reporter (or random person who she talks to) is going to explain the MeToo movement to her, and then ask her a question about it. That just something she has to know.
No problem! Candidly, I have been in bed with pneumonia for a week, and my thoughts didn't translate well into words.
Brenda - I just don't like her after some of her previous stunts. So when she basically said up front that she was going to trick them, I read it as very unprofessional. I thought her circuitous questioning of Amber was also unprofessional. I didn't think she did anything wrong with Taylor.
Amber - Again, the way the question was phrased was just weird. I've watched three times now. Amber just didn't know where Brenda was going, and I didn't either! I also was extremely let down with what I thought was Kelli's ridiculous overreaction.
Taylor - Yeah, I do believe the right question to ask was not the one Brenda first asked. However, Taylor totally tanked it. I agree. I did have mad respect for her follow up with Kelli and the fact that she took responsibility and didn't act like a spoiled brat little mama's girl.
Kelli - Really?????? We have to help Victoria find her words.??? But let's CRUCIFY the other two? Come on, girl. I don't know what is up with you this season, but the flip between "awww Vicki fell" and her complete stone face evil approach with Maddie, Taylor and Amber. That's just wrong.

There are two types of public appearances - chatter (like the nursing home) and more formal interviews. For the more formal interviews, I think they do need some training. They need some guidance on the DCC public position. However, I think the real problem with Amber and Taylor was BRENDA. She is so unprofessional! She tries to be "hard hitting" - she's not. The topics were both perfect; I have no problem with that. She just asked them in a convoluted way. Yes, that will happen sometimes even though most news people are more professional than Brenda. Kelli should have taken that in to account before judging Amber. Amber just wasn't that bad. I still can't stand up for how Taylor responded, but she might have done a little better if Brenda had been professional. (However, I do think Taylor's approach in the follow up with Kelli was so wonderful and really made Victoria's lack of addressing things stand out!)

How do you know this?
I have no inside knowledge; it is my observation from the show and what the insiders here say. It could just be that I was oblivious the first few years. But it seems that more and more the descriptions seem like Kelli is Charlotte's hand puppet. And, Charlotte is definitely more vocal on screen - she did the intro before TC announcement, right? Wasn't that the first time she had a role other than standing there? And let us not forget the cringey "graduation" piece.

I really do like and respect Charlotte.
I do, too. That is, I respect her as a marketing professional. And, I do think her makeup looks a million times better here than on the show. However, as a manager, not so much. She needs to back-off some and let Kelli run the DCC. I know Charlotte is her boss, but she seems to be overly involved in the day-to-day and it seems to be increasing.

The other thing that I want to say is that I HATE Kelli’s recap at the end of each episode. It was introduced two or three seasons ago and I just find it unnecessary. It’s just more Kelli, which we don’t need...especially tonight’s recap.
Can't agree with you there! I love it. It gives insight to what she is thinking about the specific girls. It is one of my favorite parts.

Omg - so many of these are god awful! Where to begin??
Amber’s boobs look like they are photo shopped on and very fake - it’s a headshot, and all I see is her odd boobs - that’s not good.
Caroline’s eyes look crossed and that face she is making is odd. How is that her best pic?
Gabby desperately needs eyeliner! You can’t even see her eyes, yet the rest of her face is all painted up? Just really bad makeup in that photo.
Hannah looks like a mugshot of a stripper/hooker who just brutally murdered her pimp and several clients and is proud of it.
Jaylen looks pissed. Taylor looks frightened.
Wow these are just bad photos. Only positive is they managed to make Daphne look really pretty - like her weird fake teeth aren’t noticeable at all. Cianna looks cute too.
Okay gang, let's load up and go take our own pics next year. Lawdy, I am convinced we could do better shots with our phones. Seriously, whoever picked the Hannah pic needs to be IMMEDIATELY fired. Inexcusable.......

As a country music fan, I would never have heard this - Jason Derulo/Get Ugly. I love the song but what I HATE HATE HATE is that every time I hear it I get an earworm. So, here I am, little miss 50+yo corporate accountant bopping around singing that.......now, people, I am telling you, that's ugly :(.
